Question
I have a lg resin alligator scull in my boa constrictor tank, it has been in there for three years or more. I would like to put in in my african cichlid tank now. Is this possible? How do I clean it to make it safe for my fish?

Answer
Hi DeeAnn.

Reptile ornaments are not made to be surmersed into aquariums, but you can try it.

Scrub it with Dawn dish-soap.  

If you notice it breaking off at all, or any dissolvement, then it has to be taken out. :)

Happy fish-keeping and reptile-keeping.  I, too, keep Reptiles & Amphibians.
